MK Betzalal Smotrich, head of the National Union party, has appealed to the government's coronavirus project managed, Professor Ronni Gamzu, asking him to begin to prepare for High Holiday prayers (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, that fall in mid-September this year).
"What we need is special legislation that requires local authorities to place municipal buildings at the disposal of synagogues and prayer congregations - buildings such as schools, community centers, and other public buildings," he wrote.
"These buildings are air-conditioned, and contain many separate areas that can accommodate a large number of separate quorums without exceeding the maximum number of worshipers permitted by health professionals for the holidays."
